Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

I was promised a recession.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Schmidt just says fuck it, opens a tea shop.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Meanwhile over at truth Social, the former president is busy confessing to crimes.

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

Bark louder, little dog.

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

White supremacy is terrorism.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

The revolution will be supervised.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

The hits keep coming for State Dept. IG Howard Krongard:

Two career investigators in the office of State Department Inspector General Howard J. Krongard have charged that they were threatened with firing if they cooperated with a congressional probe of Krongard and his office.

Correct me if I have this wrong, but I think that the law discourages threatening employees for cooperating with an investigation.

    Law, whose law? The law is what King George the Malevolent says it is. Those two career investigators were obviously traitorous democrats. Everybody knows the State Department is a nest of vermin hippies and peace-mongers who’d sell out this country in a heartbeat with gestures of good will and other friendly non-sense. Everybody knows Crony Krongard is doing a heck-of-a job at keeping war alive. So just get off his back, OK.

    Oh, but the thing is, being a member of the Bush Administration exempts you from such petty trivialities as the law. After 7 years, you’d think you’d learn that…

    I get it now, all the labor laws and employee protection laws weren’t made to protect us from unscrupulous business owners, they were meant to protect us from republicans!

    So it’s illegal. This is the Bush admin. we’re talking about. It’s not like the Congress is suddenly going to grow a spine and do something about it. Sheesh, get a grip!

    The State Dept: When you’re here you’re family.

    I think it reads better with a capitalized Family, but maybe that’s just my Italian ancestry talking.

    It may well be possible that Condi is even more incompetent than Rummy. I never cease to be amazed by this crowd.

    I thought the Conservatarian mantra was: If you didn’t do anything wrong, you shouldn’t have anything to hide.

    Were they not serious when they said that?

Under normal circumstances being credibly accused of actively covering up departmental abuses that range from ordinary contracting fraud to slavery would do it. If that didn’t work his, how should we say, innovative personnel policies would finish the job. […]
